Part 1 topics > Memory

I employ various methods to help myself remember things. For instance, I use sticky notes to write down tasks and place them in prominent locations as visual reminders. Additionally, I utilize the alarm feature on my phone's notepad to set reminders for important events or deadlines. In fact, for particularly crucial matters, I go to the extent of writing them on the palm of my hand, ensuring that I won't forget. These strategies help me stay organized and minimize the chances of forgetting important information or tasks.

Every day, I have to remember to buy groceries and cook my own meals. I don't enjoy eating out, and my wife doesn't know how to cook either, so it's up to me to handle the grocery shopping and cooking. Otherwise, I would go hungry. However, I find cooking to be quite therapeutic. After a long day of work and fatigue, having a meal prepared by myself is incredibly soothing. It allows me to unwind and nourish myself with a homemade meal.

No, it's not easy for me to forget to do these things. The main reason is that my wife and I discuss the menu for the day, so I receive a reminder each day. We plan our meals together, which helps me stay on top of my cooking responsibilities. Additionally, I have developed a habit of stopping by the supermarket on my way home. It has become a daily routine for me to buy groceries, making it less likely for me to forget this task. These factors combined make it easier for me to remember and fulfill my cooking duties consistently.

No, I am not good at memorizing things, especially numbers and dates. It's almost a yearly occurrence for me to forget my wife's birthday, and it always leads to arguments on that day. I feel incredibly guilty about it, but I just seem to have difficulty retaining such information. I've tried various techniques and reminders, but it's still a challenge for me. I wish I could improve my memory skills, but unfortunately, it's something I struggle with.

Yes, I have experienced forgetting something important. Last year, I forgot my mother's birthday. During that time, I was overwhelmed with work and completely overlooked her special day, failing to prepare a gift or make any arrangements. It wasn't until my wife reminded me on the day itself that I remembered. I felt terrible and immediately apologized to my mother, explaining the situation. Thankfully, she was understanding and forgave me. It served as a valuable lesson for me to be more organized and prioritize important events in the future.
